The Job Hunters Boot Camp is limited to residents of San Mateo County and the 12th Congressional District. To attend, please RSVP to (650) 342-0300 or speier.events@mail.house.gov.

Sponsored in conjunction with Assemblymember Jerry Hill, the boot camp will offer jobseekers one-on-one workshops to improve resume writing and interviewing skills and include presentations by employment specialists and local human resource managers.

A prior workshop in January drew close to 1,000 attendees. Foster City resident P.J. Marks credits the first “boot camp” with helping her land a job a week later. “It gave me important tools and techniques and a much needed emotional boost that increased my confidence and positive attitude,” she said. “I was able to find a great job, after being unemployed for over a year. I truly believe that if I had not attended, I would still be unemployed.”
